When I was building my newest build (my 2nd one from scratch) today I made the unfortunate mistake of sticking the roll pin in the wrong trigger guard hole. I didn't realize that it was in the wrong hole at first. I tapped at it with my punch, then more, then more, and then the end of my punch broke off inside the roll pin. I figured eff it, I''ll ground off the end of the roll pin (sticking half way out) so I went to screw the other end in when I realized that I had stuck the roll pin in the wrong hole and it was filled with the end of a hardened steel punch. I tried to drill it out and broke 3 bits in the process. I couldn't get a pair of pliers around it to pull it out so I cussed a lot. I finally was able to get a hold of it with a pair of side cutters and I twisted it out. The lower and trigger guard are all beat up, but I finally got it all together.

I was also reminded of how much detent pins like to fly through the air and go missing, glad I had an extra lpk sitting around. Well that's my story for the day.

No problem bacon. Now you know which AR is gonna be your "beater" rifle.
You will have more fun with this rifle. No, "oh be careful, don't scratch it" talk when you let your friends shoot it.
You have now given yourself permission to abuse your rifle.

But here she is, palmetto state lower and upper. The upper is kind of different in that it has a carbine length gas system but has rifle hand guards. 100% palmetto state armory gun.
I actually wasn't in a rush, the pins fit much nicer in this lower versus in the mega lower I built last time.

You should have taken a dremel to it and cut out the trigger guard and then cut off the roll pin from in between the "ears", and then it would have been an easy matter to just punch what was left through. Some AlumaHyde would do wonders from hiding all the scaring you have there.

If I ever mess up like that again I will get a dremel on it. I'm probably the only person in the world without a dremel.
